I thank Memo's owners for loving all their cats so much, and for telling this story of Memo and the cats of Chile. The cat on my lap, Minnosh - who I adopted while I was living in Turkey - is particulary happy that you have helped Memo and other cats. She and I (we are both in the USA right now) would like especially Americans to know that other countries treat animals in many different ways, and often without respect for their simple sweet lives.

They are little gifts of the earth, and surely Memo is giving his gifts everyday, in gratitude to the people who recognized what a treasure he is. Thank you, Memo.
